Hi
The way this list is setup.. sucks. Why? I made the post that the best
pcr1000 antenna is the one it comes with. Yes this is debatable... so a
dozen people made replies, except when you hit REPLY this list is setup so
that the reply goes to the message poster NOT to the list (unless you hit
Reply to All which only a couple did) so the replies came to me and not the
list even though they were obviously aimed at the list, except for a couple.
Can't this be fixed so that this list is like every other mailing list and
hitting reply to a post sends it to the list and not the individual.
In self defense I would like to add that Yes you can get a lot better
performance with antennas other than the supplied whip. I use a quadrifilar
Helical for satellites and a large discone. My post was about the fact that
the pcr1000 has an especially sensitive front end because it is designed to
work OK with the supplied antenna for the normal "pedestrian" user who just
wants it sitting next to his PC, indoors, as is. There have been reports on
this list of blown units from over driving with a long wire or amplified
antenna.
